A song to jam to on a mid-summer's night drive through the city lights. I like it and think it will grow on me more as the temps warm up.
I'm ready for the full blown video now.

Surprised by how unpolished it is, and honestly it would have been much fresher in 2014-2015, but it's good. Could grow on me. Not underwhelmed, just whelmed. The people who have been complaining about radio and pop music not being still at the same bpm as in 2010-2012 will be happy though.
The Weeknd and Max Martin did this approach better with Rockin', and if that album in the early 90s House direction he was thinking of doing prior to Starboy had been made, I can see this fitting right on it.

Yeah, nothing special as people were making it out to be. It's good, though.

This is great! Just heard it for the first time on Beats 1 Radio while waiting for the Cardi B interview.

This feels like a grower though, but it didn't take me to places initially
I really hope this doesn't cannibalize IDGAF on Pop
I'm waiting for Dua to take me to the places that HTH, Be The One, Blow Your Mind, LIYL, Last Dance, & New Rules took me Everyone of those songs just swept me off my feet

IDGAF was a crap single, this is free to completely f**k that thing over. :sip2:
I love the piano chords in this.

This is so 90s and I'm living for the house vibes in the production. The chorus is already stuck on my head.
THEY. DID. THAT. :'(

Is it just me or does this sound so dated? I had the same feeling about 2U.

I like it. The Deep House groove of it is so right. My favorite part is the pre-chorus with all of Dua Lipa's stretched out syllables.

This is really good, sounds like a return to his 2012 form. I'll be happy about that at least.

She sounds so Rihanna, the track has the same lazy vocals feeling as Slide, anyway the best part is the saxophone bridge and that male phrase before that.

I adore this! Can definitely see it being huge in UK. I do think Rihanna would sounded great on this if she wasn't investing all her time in Fenty Beauty. Nevertheless I hope this does well.

I don’t like the hook or ‘drop’ in this. I don’t like how there is no progression in the song. Each “one kiss it all it takes” is the exact same as the last which just makes it sound really boring. Not what I was expecting but at the same time, I don’t know what I was

Loooove this. Here for the house vibes and Dua sounds great, as usual.
Hoping this becomes a hit!

Underwhelming.
Reminds me of something I would hear in H&M and it wouldn’t even be a good listen. Sounds very UK-ish so it might smash there but it’s a disappointment from both Dua and Calvin.
Probably one of my bottom 3 Dua songs. But it’ll definitely grow on me.

Yeah I'd put this behind all of her singles from HTH onwards. And it's probably behind most of Calvin's singles from Bounce through Feels.

I agree this does sound kind of dated, although unlike with 2U I think this the kind of dated that could still potentially work. Still not as good as the singles from Dua Lipa S/T, but I like it.

This songs is really fun. But I can't help but feel that Calvin did a better job with this 90s house approach with Disciples and Ina Wroldsen.

I like it! It's no "We Found Love" or "How Deep Is Your Love" but it will gripe on me.

I heard it earlier, and it is...good. The vocals of Dua was a little bit meh but the instrumental was chilling to say the least. Perfect song for the summer.

It didn't come out how I was expecting, but this is how it went.. First listen: :'( Second listen: Third listen: OMFG DO ME It's a grower, it's fun, it's good for the summer, but it's nothing held up against "How Deep" "This is what" or almost any other single aside from "Feels" and "Faking It." Like, this man has made fucking JAMS. Even just "The Weekend" remix from SZA was total fucking fire. I hope the music video is stellar. That'll help.

Not as instant as I was hoping for (like WFL or TIWUCF) but I like it. It's definitely a grower.
